WOW - QUADROCOPTER CONTROL WITH KINETIC
Amazing to see how the development of Quadrocopters evolves. Here, we have a student from the Univeristy of Zurich demonstrating the controlled he developed to control the Quadrocopter via Microsoft’s Kinetic. Impressive!
Quadrocopters fascinate me since I saw the MIT studies with SWARM technology to control several quadrocopters at once. In 2008, I run at the University of Applied Sciences Rhein-Ruhr-Sieg a multidisciplinary student program. 40 students from Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Engineering and Economics developed commercial and non-commercial use cases for Quadrocopters. They also developed new technologies for Quadrocopters.
You will see, these little animals are going to be a part of our future. And they will come in several flavors. Enjoy.
